287. Vision Determines the Pattern [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"It's not slow." In the distance, William saw that the attacking army formation that had just been set up by the enemy army chasing after him had turned into a defensive army formation, and finally pulled the corners of his mouth.
It's just an indifferent expression, but it just turns into a sneer.
There was almost no need to think, and William could tell what the other party was thinking at the moment. Obviously, it was because the other party found that Rena and the cavalry troops under her command were missing, so they chose to shrink the lineup for defense, after all, in the previous battle of three thousand against six thousand, Rena's performance was so eye-catching that everyone had a deep scruple about Rena and her cavalry troops - the defensive array of 3,000 people was completely chiseled under Reina's charge.
If it weren't for Reina's charge to cut through the opponent's formation, plunge the opponent's Chinese army into chaos, and then successfully attack the flank, it would have been really difficult to go head-to-head with an army of 3,000 people and an army of 6,000 people.
This shows how terrifying Rena's aura skills are, especially since she is also the commander of an army.
"This man is definitely not Domingo." William said in a deep voice, "I really didn't expect that there would be a cautious general with such excellent judgment in the Hastings family. …… But unfortunately, his vision is too small. ”
"How do you know he's not Domingo?" Sean stood beside William and said with some confusion.
"If it was Domingo, he'd be attacking it by now." William said lightly, "Domingo's offensive awareness is very strong, which can be seen from the fact that he trained the Second Cavalry Regiment into an army that is particularly good at galloping and rushing. You see, the fighting style of any army will follow the general who leads them, and if the general is more cautious and conservative, then the army will be better at defense. …… In the same way, if an army is particularly offensive in its country, its generals will have a very strong sense of aggression and aggression. ”
Sean nodded a little incomprehensibly.
But William didn't expect Sean to understand this. He has long known that Shaun is a type of shopkeeper, but he doesn't hate such a lord, because he never dictates things he doesn't understand, and what William hates the most is those guys who don't know how to pretend to understand. Of course, Sean actually has a lot of things to admire William, such as his eye for people is very accurate, like Rena and Alfred, who are not only excellent but have never had any problems.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, he is not suspicious of employing people.
It's a sign that he has a lot of trust in his subordinates, but in another way, it's that he's very bold.
"Limit the growth of a general. It's not his talent and ability, it's his vision. William continued, "The higher a general's vision, the more he will see, when it comes to tactical and strategic planning. The bigger the pattern. In the same way, the more you will see and think about when you are in command of battle. Then the strain will be faster and more accurate. ”
"What do you mean. The vision and pattern of the commander on the other side are not good? ”
"No, quite the opposite." William spoke, "I'm now certain that abandoning Roves and concentrating on a decisive battle with us is certainly the idea of this man at the moment, not Domingo's. …… Even. This is the same person who fell in love with the bait I laid and took the bait. ”
"I'm a little confused." Sean said very bluntly, "You will say that his vision is good, and then you will say that he misjudged and fell for your ......"
Cecilia chuckled. He added for William: "What William means is that without a certain vision, he will not discover the bait he arranged. But at the moment, this person, even if he has a good vision, can find clues from some clues, but the pattern he can see is still too small. …… Besides, it was a decoy laid by William himself, if he could see through it, wouldn't it mean that the other party was as good as William? ”
Although everyone knows that Cecilia's last sentence is actually a slap on William's ass, William is very useful.
"You're interested in this guy?" Sean glanced at William.
"Such people, if they can't be used by us, must be solved as soon as possible." William's voice was very calm, but the killing intent in his tone was not concealed in the slightest, "So once the other party is defeated, anyone can escape, but this person can't be escaped by him." If he is allowed to escape, as long as he is given enough time to digest after this battle, then he will definitely be a very tricky enemy in the future. ”
"I see." Sean nodded, "Don't worry, as long as I find him, then I will never let him escape." ”
"So what now?"
"Let's go." William still looked calm.
"Let's go?"
"They just stopped to rest, and the formation changed so quickly, and now their physical strength must be almost exhausted." William chuckled, "It's our turn to march quickly. If the other party doesn't want to lose us, they will have to march again to keep up, and guess who will have more serious physical exertion after the last? ”
Hearing William's words, Sean immediately understood.
If you are highly concentrated, you will not feel tired too easily, but if you feel tired, then it means that your physical and mental strength is almost at your limit. If you rest at this time, your body will immediately send out various alarms, so it is easy to enter a weak state of deep fatigue, but if you continue to do work that requires large-scale physical exertion without adequate rest, then you will be overdrawn from your physical strength.
Hardly without any hesitation, under William's order, when Sean's army finished changing formation, Sean's army immediately moved out again. And this time, at the speed of a rapid march, they quickly got out of the sight of Sean and the others, but in just a short blink of an eye, Sean and the others almost disappeared from Sean's sight.
Seeing such a situation, Sein was just stunned for a moment, and then immediately gritted his teeth and chose to pursue.
It was not that he had not considered the possibility of an ambush by the other side, but they had already pursued here, and if he did not continue the pursuit, he was indeed unwilling, and once the enemy army and the troops of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment that had defeated Dabiang converged. Then he will have no certainty of winning. So considering that the other side only has more than 2,000 people - now Rena and her cavalry troops don't know where to go, and the other side only has more than 1,000 people left, and the ratio of the two sides is close to ten to one, if they don't dare to pursue like this, then it will be too embarrassing to spread the rumors.
And after seeing that the army led by Tinkiin chose to pursue, William shook his head lightly: "Sure enough, the horizon is still not broad enough. Speaking of this, he said to Sean: "Although this person has a good strategy and a certain vision and judgment, he is too eager for quick success, and a series of mistakes have forced him into a desperate situation." Although it can be judged from the fact that Rena is not visible just now and immediately turns the offensive to the defensive, it can be judged that this person is relatively cautious, but this caution is only relative. ”
"What would you do if it were you?" Sean was a little curious.
"It doesn't matter if you give up the pursuit, fully shrink the defense line of the entire territory, and if necessary, give up Lominen, Wolfs, and Hastings Manor." William said lightly. "The fact that he was able to choose to give up on Roves, proves that he still has a good spirit and vision. But it's a pity that he is still reluctant to give up Hastings Manor and Lominen. Otherwise, he will not choose to pursue us, but go back directly to find trouble with Fred, then Fred and his Thunder Lion will really suffer a big loss, and even withdraw from this battle early. ”
"So ruthless?"
"Don't forget, the location and the people are not on our side." William whispered, "Now." It depends on what his vision is. ”
Sain didn't know what William would say about him, but if he did, he would definitely be very shocked, and he wouldn't even choose to continue chasing William. Because in fact, it is exactly as William commented. Sain really had no way out at all, and the successive defeats led by Tinchi, the retreat of Dabiang's 2nd Cavalry Regiment, and Domingo's illness weighed down on Sein's breathlessness.
He desperately needs a major victory to appease the hearts and minds of the army, and only then will the Nugus family not feel that they, the Hastins, are a waste.
Therefore, Sain did not stop the pursuit.
The two armies, chasing and fleeing, rushed all the way down the border line between the Yedby and the Tinchiin in the direction of the D'ai territory.
For four days, Sean did not choose to give up, as long as Sean's army stopped to rest, then Sean would order the army to approach, forcing Sean and the others to have no time to rest. Of course, once it is nightfall, the two armies will still choose to rest very tacitly, but usually at dawn, Sean's army will be the first to set off, which will force Sean's army to rest about the same time as Sean and others.
If you don't know the situation, you won't even think that these two armies belong to opposing camps.
At night on the fifth day, William did not let the whole army continue on his way, but chose to rest in place. Since the first night when he chose to rest at night, he was attacked by the Sein faction, and from the next day, William did not choose to rest at night, but waited until late at night before ordering the army to stop and rest, and then set off immediately before dawn, although this way the rest time was greatly reduced, and even hundreds of soldiers had fallen as a result, but William still did not make any changes.
Until tonight.
William looked at the enemy troops less than a mile away from him, and his eyes became extremely indifferent: "It's a pity that I have been completely blinded by victory and have lost the calmness and sanity that a commander should have. …… It's all over tonight. ”
After four days of marching day and night, the entire army had become extremely tired, and with the night raids and non-combat attrition on the road, there were now less than a thousand people left. The heavy losses are still Clov's Cecilia Guards, after all, this unit is really the most capable of fighting, and when fighting, it naturally rushes to the front, so the attrition is naturally the most miserable.
But at this moment, Clough and his Cecilia Guards were extremely excited.
Even the dirty image can't hide the momentum exuded by this army.
As for the other pitch-black winged troops, they can't be considered troops at all at this moment, after all, the heavy infantry will definitely have a great impact on the speed when they escape, so when they abandoned the barracks and left that day, the pitch-black wings didn't wear the equipment they should have, but chose to travel lightly. And these days, the most serious non-combat attrition is also this unit, but everyone knows very well that the pitch-black wings are still too short to be established after all, and the amount of training is far from reaching the standard, but after this battle, I am afraid that something will change.
Just as William was staring at the enemy, so was Thein.
But at this moment, Sain's face was full of scum, his eyes were even redder, and the whole person looked unusually haggard and tired.
In fact, not only him, but the entire army under his command is the same, and at this moment it is no longer 10,000 people, but only more than 8,000 people left. Because if you want to talk about the non-combat attrition of long-distance travel, the heaviest losses will definitely not be the pitch-black wings, and this army of Sein.
Sein knew that after being pursued for so long, he had cut off his retreat. However, he knew that all this would end tonight, because he had chased him to a distance of less than a mile from the enemy, which could be said to be completely none, but both sides had a tacit understanding that they did not choose to fight at this distance.
But Seon knew that he had no time, and according to his budget, the army that had defeated the 2nd Cavalry Regiment of Dabiang had only two days left at most before it would be able to join Sean's army. Therefore, he must annihilate this force of less than 1,000 men tonight, only in this way can he wash away the shame of the successive defeats of the Tinchiin Command.
And the way he chose to fight was a night attack.
A massive night attack of 8,000 against 1,000 people! (To be continued......)
